Soda Feldspar
Soda feldspar is a type of feldspar that is rich in sodium and is commonly used in ceramics and glass manufacturing. It is a key raw material in the production of porcelain, tiles, and glazes due to its fluxing properties. When feldspar is heated, it melts at a relatively low temperature, making it an important ingredient in the formation of glass and ceramic bodies.
